But seriously, there should be a "pending articles" section but ut should be available only to readers who fit certain requirements, and they could vote for pending stories, so that the people will get the news that they want!
Jerry Pournelle is Bill Gates' clone. He must be getting a percent of Windows sales or something. No one can like NT THAT much. He calls his NT box "Princess" is that sick or what?
P.S. I call my Linux box, Thor. Because it is almighty, and invincible.
Chalk that lack of moderatio up to two things, 1) more users than ever before. and 2) Those darned moderation points. You only get five or so, with all the comments that get posted on slashdot, even on a single article, you can't really moderate enough. They should change it so that you can moderate unlimited for a week or something, then they rotate.
The perk that I'd really like would be free brouadband internet in my bedroom. Oh, and plenty of Dr.Pepper.

is it possible to download JUST konqueror? I use GNOME, but i have it set to load KFM instead of GMC, I'd like to upgrade to the new Browser/File Manager, but not the whole desktop.
AIDS is a syndrome, not a disease, if you have HIV, you won't neccessarily die. If you have AIDS, it is more serious, but i've SPOKEN to people living with the syndrome, and they seem to be doing fine. So, it is very dangerous, and its practically a plague, but not everyone dies.
Microsoft never really participated in OS/2, they only pretended to, they used it to get an edge in the applications market. They told everyone that OS/2 was the future OS, and everyone ported their apps, to OS/2, so whenMS Windows aarrived, Microsoft was able to force OEMs to install it,thereby leaving them with the only applications that would actually work on most PCs.
For a better explaination, read "The Microsoft File" by Wendy Goldman Rohm (the one who co-authored a book with the Redhat CEO)
CP/M was based on Unix... Your point? and btw, Unix invented drive letters (/dev/hda/dev/hdb)
Also, MS-DOS/Windows 9x has its roots in CP/M. Microsoft used VMS as a model when it ws developing NT. It only uses drive letters to emulate the feel of 9x.
Full Firewire support probably will appear first in the PowerPC distributions. Just like USB is more usable on the PowerPC, because, well, they need it. (to prove my point... iMac.)
I'm glad it didn't work, because if it did, Al Gore would have taken credit for inventing the moon.
But seriously, I was hoping for a moonbase too... I guess I'll have to bring some bottled water or something... And I would need plenty of it for my moon-penguins..... muahaha
Taxes started the revolutionary war. Its true, though, the US Gov. is absolutly stupid when it comes to the internet.
I'll pay income taxes to the feds, so that they can line their pockets, as well as waste money on stupid shit no one wants like enforcing Net legislation. We don't need more taxes!
Besides, when are they going to realize that this internet thing is GLOBAL. I could set up shop in Belize and sell my goods from a webserver there, NO TAXES!
I think the term "superpower" has went to their heads.
This is the second time I am going to say this, but, the geeks need representation in government! Rob Malda for president! etc.
Yes, i heard about that, but its far from where I would need it to be, at the moment anyway.
Since asking slashdot, I discovered a neet little gem, its not quite exacly, what i was looking for, but it is close, you can find it here, It allows you to transfer files between systems. Which would at least allow me to get some work done, but heres a question, what formats do Psion's Spreadsheet/Wordprocessor/everything else use? are they standard formats?
US Crypto Laws are in violation of the fourth amendment of the US constitution. Which states the rights of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects... ...shall not be violated... ...yada yada need a warrant...
anyway, point is, "papers" can be interpreted as meaning documents, which can refer to computer data. Therefore, the US government cannot make any laws that may prohibit anyone (US citizen or not) from having access to things neccesary to the security of their documents.
No offence, but wasn't linux absolutely, positively incomplete and buggy when Linux first released it, the open source community, basically pulled it together, and helped turn it into something useful.
I think the skins provide for an aweful interface. Frankly, I agree that it is prettier. however, the Motif interface that everyone seems to hate at least seemed quicker. I'd like to see a version that didn't have skins. Why does a browser need skins anyway, it worked perfectly fine without them.A simple motif, GTK, QT, whatever would be nice, instead of what seems to be an all HTML (or some form of XML) based interface. I'm sticking with 4.x line a little longer.
Well, GEM runs from Windows. And I would assume that if you renamed a few files (win.com) it should work.
As to the legality of this... Microsoft deserves it, we should also reverse engineer these copies since the EULA won't really apply.... Just to see the resulting pissed off look on Pearly (Gates)'s face.... hehe
I could be wrong but, USB, was never reallyu meant to replace SCSI. IT is supposed to replace Serial and Paralel ports (spelling is bad) Firewire or whatever it is being called nowadays (ieesomething or other)is apple's technology, met to do, something of the same thing, but basically, faster.
SCSI, however, is SCSI. Its not going to be replaced any time soon.
Of a story i read a year or two back, where one of two major british newspapers was linking to stories on the other's website. This basically pissed everyone off at the "linked-too" newspaper, so they took the other one to court. I don'tknow how it turned out.

I believe NT stands for Networking Technology, just like CE stands for Consumer Electronics.
I believe your boss said that although VA installs Redhat by default they try to remain distribution agnostic,
so if you want Debian or Slack or S.u.S.E, then try asking nicely....
I believe the interview was in Linux Magazine. If i misquoted "the man who put the `A` in VA" then i apologize.
